Interest in needle-free skin treatments with limited visible peeling continues to grow. WiQo PRX Plus is a topical, in-clinic treatment that may support skin texture, tone and the appearance of fine lines. At Regenesis Aesthetic + Wellness in Kent Town, it is offered following a consultation as part of a medically based skin plan.
What is WiQo PRX Plus?
WiQo PRX Plus is a topical formula based on trichloroacetic acid (TCA). It is massaged into the skin by a practitioner and does not involve needles or devices. Unlike traditional TCA peels, it is designed to work on the skin without causing heavy visible peeling in most people.
How it works
The formula is designed to stimulate the skin's surface and deeper layers while limiting surface exfoliation. This may support the skin's natural renewal processes over time. Responses vary between individuals, and some people may notice little change.
Concerns it may be considered for
Uneven skin texture
Dullness and uneven tone
The appearance of fine lines
The appearance of enlarged pores
The appearance of some types of scarring, as assessed by your practitioner
It may be used on the face, neck, décolletage and some body areas.
Who may and may not be suitable
WiQo PRX Plus may suit a range of skin types. It may not be suitable for people who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have active skin infections, open wounds, active inflammatory skin conditions in the treatment area, or known sensitivities to the formula's ingredients. Recent use of certain skincare actives may also need to be paused. Your practitioner will review your medical history and current skincare at consultation.
What to expect during a session
Your practitioner cleanses the skin at the start of the appointment, then applies and massages the formula into the treatment area in stages. You may feel warmth, tingling or a short-lived stinging sensation. Sessions are typically under an hour.
Sessions, timing and how long changes may last
Number of sessions: a course of several sessions is generally recommended, with spacing set by your practitioner.
When changes may appear: some people notice a change in skin texture in the days after a session, while others may notice changes more gradually across a course.
How long changes may last: this varies with skin type, sun exposure, skincare and natural ageing. Some people may consider maintenance sessions where clinically appropriate.
Potential risks and considerations
Side effects may include temporary redness, tightness, dryness, light flaking or sensitivity. Less commonly, irritation, breakouts or changes in pigmentation may occur, particularly with sun exposure after treatment. Your practitioner will explain the risks that apply to your skin before treatment.
Aftercare
Your practitioner will give you aftercare instructions, which may include a specific post-treatment product, a mild cleanser, avoiding active skincare for a set period, and daily broad-spectrum sunscreen. Avoiding sun exposure, saunas and strenuous exercise for a short period may also be advised.
